Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
I just seen this. I have been doing autocad on the computer and coming up with different things.
The colors on the 64 was close to what I was doing except how was doing the colors. Here is what I was doing. This one is a 66 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...psccfc246d.jpg |

my eyes, they must be going...i never noticed the blobs of super glue on the bottom of the cab, or the bumper hanging down untill i looked at the pictures....
straitening up the bumper was easy... Attachment 1332077 attaching the mudflaps was easy... Attachment 1332075Attachment 1332076 ended up meticulously sanding, masking, & respraying the bottom of the cab, real big pia, maybe next time i'll just leave it alone.... Attachment 1332074 |
Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
I think it looks great. I didn't notice the blobs but a lot of nice detail work....

thanks Dale!
been doing some box work one problem is the front of it is open (shortbox in the top left) allowing the fenders to bow in & not line up with the cab, as seen on this one i did about 10 yrs ago, which i'll haft to fix now.... Attachment 1333194Attachment 1333193 so i added a 1/16" front to the box, after i heated the sides & bent them to line up with the cab. almost exactly the length of this chev longbox. also added some styrene around the inner fenders, if you look at the first pic of the box you can see how lame they were... Attachment 1333196Attachment 1333195 lines up much better with the cab now Attachment 1333197 |

dont like the way it's lifted, blocks under the spring hangers-cheezy
cut the leaf packs off, will scratch some new ones, diff covers look like nothing i've ever seen, just happened to have 2 D60 covers, & the axles are way narrow, the tires just make it to the body, now they stick out a bit for that bulldog look. all rough right now, lots of sanding & filling to do... Attachment 1333200Attachment 1333198 started putting together a 454 & stretched out the frame Attachment 1333199Attachment 1333201 Attachment 1333202 |

waiting for the body, axles & block to dry (primer & filler), staring at it & decided it needs a canoe. kinda modeled it after an old coleman canoe i had.
only piece of .015 styrene i have, got some nice dents & creases in it, & instead of a scale 14 footer, this piece is only big enuff for a scale 13 ft Attachment 1333546 some scissor work & a bend Attachment 1333547 some super glue Attachment 1333548 and some seats & interior ribbing took me a little over an hour to scratch it up Attachment 1333549 have to make a rack now Attachment 1333550 |
Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
You sure make the canoe look easy. Looking good.

it REALLY was easy Dale, just like cutting out snowflakes at school-but....i have now spent about 3 hrs muddin' & sandin" & muddin' & more sanding. like i said, that .015 had a lot of dents & creases in it, once i primed it, it looked like an old aluminum canoe someone beat up with a rock (and it's supposed to resemble a fiberglass canoe....)
Attachment 1334955 we finally caught a break in the weather & have crammed 3 weeks of work into 4 days, so not a lot of progress....untill today, another 2-3 inches of rain:waah: axles mostly done, some work on the 454, & just started mounting the fr springs Attachment 1334956Attachment 1334957 |

yeah, it's not a truck, but my 10 yr old son has been working on this for 6 months. he lost the .30 cal gun & the wind kinda went out of his sails for a few months. the other day i made a quick hatch cover to go over the hole, & he's all gung-ho again. last nite he sprayed his first model (first two he brush painted), & he cant wait until tonite to paint the guns, seat boards & install the treads
Attachment 1335009Attachment 1335010 he built the entire thing, all i did was make a hatch for it & helped him square up all the body pieces, rest of it is all him, even all those stupid little tread rollers.... (i try NOT to help him if i can help it....) Attachment 1335007 couple pics of the "mini-master" at work Attachment 1335006Attachment 1335008 |

yay! your drought maybe coming to an end Dale? was reading somewhere like how it's been 3 yrs there with hardly anything. which is funny because most of our rain comes up from the south on tropic currents....
with christmas & doing all the fam-damily stuff, my longbox has been kinda simmering lately. off work for a week, so i'd like to try get it cleaned up 'fore the new yr. 454 is pretty much done (bb exhaust Dale:lol:) Attachment 1339794Attachment 1339795 susp. almost there, need to put the shocks on, steering gear, brake lines & u-bolts Attachment 1339796 didn't like the size of the canoe, so...

was hoping to finish it this weekend, had a primer fiasco....
had enough good stuff to do the box, used some other crap for the cab & hood-big mistake.....top coat kept on cracking & hazing, so i chucked it in the stripping tank. gave me a chance to fix & replace the drip rails & rear window trim (my eyes, missing all kinds of stuff lately....) Attachment 1341313 keeping with a basic truck theme, chrome had to go. filled the turn signals, pushbar holes, & added a piece of checkerplate to the r bumper Attachment 1341314 Attachment 1341315 added some fender braces Attachment 1341316 at least i got one thing done....

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd
It's looking great, nice job on the bumpers. I've enjoyed watching all your builds this year and looking forward to next year. I hope your holidays went well. I met my oldest daughter, son in law and 4 year old grand daughter at my cabin. I enjoyed watching them play in the snow while I had sat on the porch and stayed warm....
